Amazing!!!


This is a an amazing story--3 weeks ago Bill cleaned out our 4 ft tropical fish tank using the syphon as usual to clean all the muck from around the gravel and plants.It is pumped into a plastic dustbin and we slide it across the room and out of the patio doors on a plastic bag.Then it stays on the patio and Bill uses it to water the patio tubs.
Because the weather has been so bad of late, it has just stood there-- when Bill looked at throwing it away on Friday, he saw a movement in the water, and realised that there were 4 baby fish in there.He caught them and they lived in a coffee jar until he bought a special net so they could be returned to the tropical fish tank without being eaten by the big fish!
They are baby sword tails and they should need warmish water to survive! To think they have been out there in the rain etc for 3 weeks and survived is amazing!
They must have been hiding in the plants and been sucked up when he cleaned the tank!
